Dynatrace Associate Cert
Mission Control
Managed customers can use this to access their clusters, check for system updates
SaaS Updates
SaaS updates are done automatically
ActiveGate
Proxy between OneAgent and a database, cloud, etc.
ActiveGate use cases
Access sealed networks
Large memory dump storage
Collecting large external logs
AWS load distribution monitoring
Monitoring using AG
Virtualized infrastructure
Monitor cloud foundry, Kubernetes
Execute private HTTP monitors
Execute private browsers outside of network
SaaS Needs This Type of ActiveGate
None. You can install an environment ActiveGate if there are security concerns
Cluster ActiveGate
Shared between tenants or multiple environments within a cluster. Remote agents, JS
agents, need to communicate with your cluster though a firewall
Environment ActiveGate
an ActiveGate for one specific environment. If one or more network segments need their
own private ActiveGate for whatever reason.
Environment and Cluster ActiveGates accept incoming ocnnections on this port
9999
Environment and Cluster ActiveGates make outgoing connections to the Dynatrace
Server on this port
443
Customers must do this to make sure ActiveGates work properly
configure firewall settings to permit communication through these ports
ActiveGate installation requirements

Process Groups
a logical cluster of processes that belong to the same application or deployment unit
and perform the same function across multiple hosts
Clustered Services
Same service in multiple processes - SAME process group
Separate Services
Same service in multiple processes - MULTIPLE process groups
Merged Services
, Services in the same process group, with the same technology, but may exist across
separate nodes
Opaque Services
Cannot be monitored but can be detected by requests made by other services
Key Requests
You can measure mission-critical requests or functionality, based on certain text or
information or header in a request. You can have custom alerting thresholds
Request Attributes
You can define certain request attributes to allow for filtering, sorting, and searching in
